“Seduction of Employees.*’
The Juniata True Democrat, of the
28th ult., has an editorial under the above
caption at which we. are astonished,' and
deeply, regret. Our old iriend had cer
tainly, at the time of penning the article
.alluded to,, lost his accustomed equanimi
ty; for it was evidently written in a bad
temper and in a wrong spirit. The spirit
is .bad—the motive we can not divine.
To the individual referred to, the bad
temper —not to say bitterness—of the
Democrat, is, we presume, a matter of
indifference. But it is due to the pause
of truth, and justice to the employees of
the Penn’a Rail Road Company, to expose
the unfounded charges of the Democrat's
.editorial.' The first is that the number of
brakemen on the large freight trains have
been reduced to two. This is a mistake; fur
there are three brakemen to each train.—
FoHqwing this it is said, “ this is consis- 1
tent with the grinding process inaugura
-ted by the advent of the illustrious Vice;
President as General Superintendent.’*—
Now it must have been known to the
author of that sentence, ; that the reduc
tion of wages alluded to was before the
administration of Thos. A Scott, and du
ring the incumbency of H‘. J. Lombaert;
and by the positive direction of the Board
of Directors. It was after the promotion
r-: . • t
of the present Vice President to the posi
tion of General Superintendent, and at his
suggestion, that the wages were advanced.
His superintendency was proverbial for its
alemency,. except where employees were
unfaithful, or where involved in the insub-
ordination and conspiracy of a general
-strike. He is known to bo kind-hearted,
particularly to the poor, benevolent, and
liberal almost to a fault.
1 Did it occur to the editor of the Demo
crat, that his objection fo the reduction of
needless force op trains, implies that the
Vice President is more bound to retain
employees, than to consult the interest' of
the Company of which he is an officer?—
H Beautiful rule indeed, for officials ! Alas !
the One which now .weighs down our Com
monwealth under imUions of debt. What
corporation wants for one of its highiaK
officers, a man, who, Regardless of its^
terests, andfor Ms oven popularity, or In
fluence, would employ needless laborers ?
Yet this is just what he would be bound
to do, according.to the reasoning of the
Democrat. No, if the Vico President of
the Penn’a R. B. Go., believes it to be
consistent with the interests of the Com
pany to reduce the number of the brake
men from four to three, it is not only right (
fcfc him,to suggest it, but he is bound to
see it enforced. If hb does is not
fit for the position ho occupies,
f iChe charge of .an “ extorted reward” is
as/ unfounded as Jit is ungenerous. So far
aS Mr. Scott is concerned, nothing was
known of the intended 1 testimonial until
after the funds for it had been raised j and
we do not believe that he knows to a cer- .
tainty the name of one individual who did"
or who .did not contribute to the fund.—
As to J&e employees, the charge contains
an insinuation which outrages their inde
; pendence and manliness] it implies *hat
they gave .towards the intended testimoni
al >as a matter of constraint ; from the
dtedd of official displeasure—not -volunta
rily; and, consequently, that their condi
tlen is but little better than servitude or
vassalage; that, therefore, they dare not
or have not the courage to resist what they
considered unjust or oppressive! Axneri
• can freemen be so low, so mean? No
they know no such oppression, nor wouh
they endure it. It is a slander to inti
mate sueh a thing; and Thos. A. Scott is
, one of the last men to ask or exp’ect such
from his fellows. He is regarded
• -by all who know him well,' as one of the
most affable, yet magnanimous, men to be
' found. Again we say it is strange that
our friend of the True Democrat sboulc
haye suffered himself to betray so much
and personality—especially with
such recklessness in regard to facts—to
: one through whom' .the courtesies
of the Rail Road Company have been ex
tended to him. Ought you not, friend
(J to put yourself right on this apb

The Great Eastern.
This greht long-talkcdofship, which
surpasses ini size and splendor anything of

thousands are now flocking to the city and

To build hsr cost a,fabulous snm, and her
daily expenses are appallingly large. She
can carry 4,000 passengers, but she
brought only forty. She can cany thou*
sands of tons of freight, but she brought
none. It is said she could not have got
into Hew York harbor if she had been
ladened. Por this reason she cannot take
freight when she departs. The question
arrises, why was she sent to America.-?-
Her errand is hot one of profit from ooni
merceor travel; and as to whether the
matter of exhibiting hen will pay remams
to be seem She is certainty worth going
to see, if it coats but little more, than the
admission fee. Her trip to this country,
like her previous ones, demonstrates the
fact that she cannot compete with the
smaller steamers in speed. That she will

something other than we have yet seen
Noticed be hit upon to make her pay.
j&pThe Republican papers are calling
upon their Democratic ootemporaries to
define the position of their candidate,
Henry D. Foster, on the Presidential
question, and the/ papers are
calling on thcir/ omMHifcts to give the
views of Andy same ques
tion. This we take it is a useless piece
of business. The defining of the positions
of the candidates would not help either of
them, and they exhibit wisdom by beeping
mum. They were nominated and placed
upon State platforms and they shouldstiy
there. They have nothing to do with the
Presidential question, so far .as relates to
their State policy, and men who pretend
to be politicians should certainly be abje
to see far enough ahead to know that
what they ask for will not be granted un
less they concede as much, and wherein
would be the gain. Enough of this gen
tlemen', ask something else.

THE PERSIAN FEVER CHARM.
For the prevention and enre of fiver and Ague and Bil
ious Fivers. This wonderful remedy was brought to the
knowledge of the present proprietors by a friend who has
been a great traveller in Persia and the Holy Land.
■While going down the river Euphrates, he experienced a
Severe attack of Fever and Ague. On discovering bis con
dition, one of the Bbatmen took from his person an Annu
let, saying, “ Wear this and no Fiver will touch you." Al
though incredulous as to its virtues, he complied, and ex
perienced immediate relief, and has since always found it
an effectual protection from all malarious complaints.
On further investigation ho found that the boatman attri
buted to it miraculous powers, and said that it could only
bo obtained from the Priests of the Son. Sometime after
wards, the gentleman in conversing with a Priest obtained
from him the secret of its preparation, and ascertained
Where the medicinal herbs wire found, of which It was
compounded. The wonderful virtues of this article have
induced a fall belief in the minds of the natives 15 the mi
raculous healing powers of their Priests.
Since bis return to America, it has been tried with the
happiest effect by several ladies' and gentlemen of high
character, who have given it the most unqualified praise.—
This .remedy having been a specific in Persia for hundreds
of years, for the prevention and cure of Fever and Ague,
and Jlillons Fevers—ls now offered to the American people.
It will be sent by mail, prepaid, with Ihli directions for
use, on receipt of one dollar.
